PROSPECTS
Since the beginning of 2026, amid continued deep adjustments to the global economic and trade landscape and rising geopolitical uncertainties, COSCO SHIPPING Ports has remained committed to high-quality development as its overarching priority. The Company has consistently strengthened its core hub layout and global network resilience, while fully leveraging synergies with COSCO SHIPPING Group and the Ocean Alliance. In the first half of the year, the Company’s total throughput and profit attributable to equity holders maintained a YoY increase, with steady improvements in operational quality and efficiency.
Looking ahead, international institutions including the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund have successively downgraded their global economic growth forecasts. The World Bank projects that global economic growth will moderate from 2.9% in 2025 to 2.5% in 2026, while the IMF has revised its 2026 global growth forecast down to 3%, reflecting the impact of tensions in the Middle East. Changes in the global trade policy environment and fluctuations in energy prices have placed certain pressure on merchandise trade growth. Against this backdrop, the Chinese economy has demonstrated strong resilience. According to statistics from the General Administration of Customs of China, in the first half of the year, the total value of goods imports and exports reached RMB25.47 trillion, representing a YoY increase of 16.9%. Of this, exports amounted to RMB14.73 trillion, a YoY increase of 13.4%; imports totaled RMB10.74 trillion, a YoY increase of 22.1%. China’s trade with emerging markets such as ASEAN and Latin America has continued to deepen, while the share of high-value-added products, including electric vehicles, lithium batteries and photovoltaic products, has steadily increased. These developments have provided strong support for the development of the port industry.
In the face of heightened external uncertainties, the Company will remain customer-centric and continue to optimise its global terminal network resource allocation. It will accelerate investment in emerging markets, regional markets and third-country markets, pursuing controlling stakes in strategic hubs while taking minority stakes in key gateway ports as market conditions permit. The Company will also enhance its main and feeder network layout to achieve interconnected and coordinated development across its terminals. It will accelerate the development of port-side logistics parks and supply chain extension services, building integrated resource synergies to provide customers with efficient and convenient port logistics supply chain solutions.
Centred on its core port operations, the Company will continue to deepen lean operations and enhance its overall competitiveness. It will reinforce hub port development, raising the service capacity of key hubs including CSP Wuhan Terminal, Piraeus Terminal, CSP Abu Dhabi Terminal and CSP Chancay Terminal. In response to the evolving geopolitical situation in the Middle East, the Company will closely monitor developments, refine contingency plans and information-sharing mechanisms, and continue to optimise feeder network layouts and multi-modal logistics corridors to enhance supply chain resilience. This will enable it to provide more reliable port logistics services to regional customers and effectively address challenges arising from external changes. Under the new landscape of shipping alliances, the Company will strengthen its route network through targeted marketing, actively respond to market changes and route adjustments, continue to introduce new routes and secure additional calls. By improving service quality, it will reinforce its competitive advantage and sustain steady growth in its core business.
In terms of green and low-carbon development, the Company will actively cultivate new quality productive forces in the port and shipping industry and lead the sector’s transformation and upgrading. It will continue to advance full-process automation at its terminals, deepen the application of AI and other technologies across all aspects of port operations, and accelerate digitalisation to enable data connectivity and collaborative synergy across systems. The Company will also extend its traditional cargo-handling business towards integrated logistics services, actively developing integrated “shipping + port + logistics” service offerings. With a focus on building green and low-carbon ports, it will further enhance its energy management platform, expand the use of clean energy, and actively participate in the green fuel supply chain to develop full-chain green and low-carbon products, setting industry benchmarks and building new advantages for sustainable development.
